Pours a milky yellow colour and a dense, rocky white head with good retention and lacing. Aroma's: juicy and dank hops, tangy fruit, resin. Retronasal it's quite resinous and somewhat bitter, with the juiciness a bit subdued. Flavour is moderate bitter with light juicy sourness. Light medium bodied, soft carbonation and mouthfeel. Finishes increasingly bitter and a bit dry. And, as always, a great burp!

Can. A glass of dirty sand with a cm of white head that lasts OK. Wintery orange aroma with under-ripe tropical fruit, lime, ice cream. Creamy texture, medium low carbonation. Really sweet with lots of juicy fruit, some crackers, grassy and herbal notes that are just astringent. Little bitterness. Less my thing than most, it seems.

New England IPA with Citra, Galaxy and Motueka, from this hyped NEIPA specialist in New York. Creamy and very moussy, egg-white, membrane-lacing, firm head on a milky apricot blonde beer with peachy tinge. Utterly fragrant nose of ripe melon, lychee wine, red onions sweating in olive oil, diesel dankness, lemon cake dough, mandarin, pomelo, dried rosemary. Sweetish onset but not overdone, lots of refreshing citrusiness, impressions of mango and lychee but equally strong of mandarin and kumquat, medium carb, soft and full, fluffy body, bit powdery; doughy malts with bread-crumb-like edges under a very expressive, colourful, radiant hoppiness, partially dank, partially citric and partially sweet-tropical, zesty mandarin, lychee, melon, some guava – a whole complex of the three hops giving the best of themselves, while also offering some late, balancing, mildly peppery bitterishness. Perfectly balanced, complex and sophisticated NEIPA, not too sweet and nicely zesty and spicy. This kind of beers make me understand why Other Half NEIPAs are so coveted.

On tap at Dive 106. Pours murky hazy yellow. Mango, passionfruit, bright lime, orange, tangelo, soft cereal and honey notes. Good body. Another classic OH IPA, and I'm not bored of it yet.
